i have hunted zone 21 for near 30 years and never seen a club out there planting anything but maybe they do. i have been there when the machines are doing there thing usually around first week of september. i talked to the game warden and he told me they cultivate and fertilize the fields and then plant the following week.from what i gather its alot of work. its work just to break down the dirt hills to get into the fields. its alot of work and i would gladly run any machine to help out. im ever more convinced the clubs are in bed with the federation and taylor the rules to fit the clubs. its just not fair but its not all bad either. the clubs are a tradition and i think thats great! my dedication to the pines is year round and i live over an hour away and make several trips a week during most of the year. i could head up to north jersey and shoot bigger deer but hunting is a way of life for me and my family started me hinting in the pines. the pine barrens are shrinking every year and its a shame but i do what i can. we do need to get along out there. if the clubs maybe would just stop stealing my stands but thats my opinion
